The Costa Del Mar Jose Pro 9106 sunglasses take Costa's best-selling Jose frame and dial the performance up to PRO Series level. Named in honor of legendary angler and TV host Jose Wejebe, these polarized fishing sunglasses pack six technical upgrades designed to solve the real problems anglers face on the water: sweat, fogging, slippage, and light leak.
PRO Series Performance Features
The Jose Pro addresses what happens when you're fighting fish in the chop. Sweat management channels move moisture away from your eyes, while eyewire drains prevent water from pooling inside the frame. The fully adjustable, ventilated nose pads let you fine-tune the fit and reduce fogging—a standout feature rarely seen on full-rim nylon frames. Enhanced Hydrolite rubber on the nose and temples gets stickier when wet, locking the frames in place even when conditions get rough. Hooding and side shields create a goggle-like seal that blocks peripheral light for glare-free vision, and metal keeper slots in the temples accept a Costa retainer strap so your sunglasses never go overboard.
The rectangular frames are built from Costa's Bio-Resin, a castor oil-based TR-90 nylon that's part of their Kick Plastic Initiative. It's lightweight, durable, and holds its shape under harsh conditions while reducing the carbon footprint compared to petroleum-based plastics. The 8-base wrap provides maximum coverage and fits medium to large faces (62mm lens width, 16mm bridge, 128mm temples).
Costa 580G Glass Lens Technology
The Jose Pro comes exclusively with Costa 580G glass lenses—the clearest polarized lenses Costa makes. The 580 technology filters out harsh yellow light at 580 nanometers and blocks harmful high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, naturally boosting reds, greens, and blues for enhanced color and contrast. These lenses absorb 100% of UV light and feature 99.9% polarization efficiency to cut glare on the water. The C-Wall coating adds scratch resistance and repels water, oil, and sweat for easy cleaning. Glass lenses are heavier than polycarbonate but deliver superior optical clarity—Costa's LightWAVE glass is 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass.
Available in multiple 580G mirror lens options: Blue Mirror (bright offshore conditions), Green Mirror (inshore and flats), Copper Silver Mirror, Gray, and Sunrise Silver Mirror (low light). Each lens color is optimized for specific fishing conditions.
Prescription-Ready and Built to Last
The Jose Pro is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx lenses without compromising performance. Costa backs these frames with their limited lifetime warranty. Whether you're sight-fishing shallow flats or running offshore in full sun, the Jose Pro delivers the clarity, grip, and coverage serious anglers demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Costa Jose Pro 9106 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Costa Jose Pro 9106 is prescription-ready and can accommodate prescription lenses. The frame is constructed with an 8-base curve and accepts both single vision and progressive prescriptions. You can order them with your prescription through authorized optical retailers.
What is the difference between Costa 580G and 580P lenses?
580G lenses are made of glass and offer superior optical clarity and scratch resistance, while 580P lenses are polycarbonate and are lighter and more impact-resistant. The Jose Pro comes exclusively with 580G glass lenses, which are 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass. Glass provides the clearest vision but weighs more than polycarbonate.
What are the six PRO Series features on the Jose Pro?
The six PRO Series features are: (1) enhanced Hydrolite grip on nose and temples that gets stickier when wet, (2) fully adjustable ventilated nose pads to reduce fogging, (3) sweat management channels, (4) eyewire drains to prevent water pooling, (5) hooding and side shields to block light leak, and (6) metal keeper slots for retainer straps. These features work together to keep the frames secure and your vision clear during intense fishing conditions.
What size are the Costa Jose Pro 9106 sunglasses?
The Jose Pro has a 62mm lens width, 16mm bridge width, 40.7mm lens height, and 128mm temple length, with a total frame width of 134mm. This is considered a large lens front designed to fit those with medium to average-sized heads. The frame has a regular fit width and maximum coverage wrap to reduce light leak.
What is Bio-Resin and why does Costa use it?
Bio-Resin is a plant-based plastic made from castor oil, part of Costa's Kick Plastic Initiative to reduce their carbon footprint. It's a TR-90 nylon material that's lightweight, durable, and holds its shape under harsh conditions. Using bio-based resin instead of petroleum-based resin reduces emissions and environmental impact while maintaining the strength needed for performance fishing sunglasses.
Which lens color is best for fishing in the Costa Jose Pro?
Green Mirror 580G is the most popular choice for inshore and flats fishing as it enhances vision and contrast in those conditions. Blue Mirror 580G works best for bright, full-sun offshore situations. Copper Silver Mirror offers heightened contrast in variable light, while Gray provides a neutral view. Sunrise Silver Mirror is designed for low-light conditions like dawn and dusk fishing.

Costa Jose Pro vs Original Jose: Is the PRO Upgrade Worth It?
The Costa Jose Pro 9106 and the Costa Jose 9023 share the same DNA—both are rectangular Bio-Resin frames honoring Jose Wejebe—but the PRO version adds six performance features that matter when conditions get tough. The original Jose is a proven fishing frame at a lower price, available in both 580G glass and 580P polycarbonate lenses. It's lighter and has a narrower fit that some anglers prefer.
The Jose Pro costs more but delivers tangible upgrades: enhanced Hydrolite that grips harder when wet, fully adjustable ventilated nose pads (rare on nylon frames), sweat management channels, eyewire drains, hooding and side shields to block light leak, and metal keeper slots for retainer straps. If you fish long days in challenging conditions—running in chop, fighting fish in full sun, dealing with sweat and spray—the PRO features solve real problems. If you're a casual angler or primarily wear your Costas off the water, the original Jose delivers excellent optics and durability at a better price.
Jose Pro vs Blackfin Pro: Which PRO Series Frame?
Both the Jose Pro and Blackfin Pro share the same six PRO Series features and similar pricing ($286-$309 vs $272-$309). The difference is in coverage and style. The Blackfin Pro has larger, thicker temples that block sunlight at every angle and provide added grip near the cheekbones—ideal for offshore fishing in blinding sun. The Jose Pro has a cleaner, more versatile rectangular shape that transitions better from boat to shore. If you fish primarily offshore in extreme sun, the Blackfin Pro's extra coverage wins. If you want a PRO Series frame that works for inshore fishing and everyday wear, the Jose Pro is the better all-around choice.
Jose Pro vs Fantail: PRO Features or Budget?
The Costa Fantail 9006 is a popular fishing frame at a significantly lower price ($163.54-$296). It offers the same excellent Costa 580 lens technology and polarization but lacks the PRO Series performance features. You won't get the adjustable nose pads, sweat channels, eyewire drains, or enhanced Hydrolite grip. The Fantail is also available in 580P polycarbonate lenses, which cost less than glass and are lighter and more impact-resistant (though not as optically clear).
Choose the Fantail if you're budget-conscious or prefer lighter polycarbonate lenses. Choose the Jose Pro if you fish seriously and want the performance upgrades that keep your frames secure and fog-free during long days on the water. The PRO features aren't just marketing—they solve specific problems anglers face, and the investment pays off in comfort and function.
